People believe in eternal life because they believe that life’s beginning is spiritual, and therefore eternal.
In our soul is the sign of eternity.
—WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING
Our biggest desire is to live forever. But when we are freed from this body, we will not wish to come back. Is there such a child who, once born, would like to return to the womb of his mother? Is there a man who, freed from prison, would like to return to it? In the same way, a person should not be afraid about the future liberation from his body, if he is not connected too closely with this material life.
—TABLES OF THE BABIDS , a MUSLIM sect from PERSIA
A person is not afraid to die only after he understands that he was never born, that he always existed, exists at present, and will always exist.
A person will believe in his eternity when he understands that his life is not a wave, a period of time, but the eternal movement which is manifested in this life only as a wave.
Those who believe that their life has not begun with their birth and will not end with death find it much easier to live a good life than those who do not understand or believe this.
